Today on the Celestine and the Hare calendar is make a paper boat day. I made a copper moon boat which was a commission but also felt right for the eve of Lughnasadh and Lammas. Giving thanks to the person who nudged me back to working with copper, a good time to start as the earth turns golden.

There will be a small collection of summery boat loving creatures Saturday 25th July 8pm subscribe to my email and you can get a sneak peek into my head and the train of thought that goes from a wooden boat to Christmas carols to poems and local ponds that became the inspiration for the collection.
Old Shrew was too old to go sailing these days but he liked to look at his old sea charts and remember the voyages he took.
Argh sorry we are late! Weasel Wednesday for your delectation
‘Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.‘ (quote from Wind in the Willows with a water vole who knew how to make a picnic)
